DiamondBack’s was hands-down one of the best meals I’ve had. The quality of beef, shrimp and salmon was top-notch! Ladies here for Magnolia, hear me now, try the mixed grill. It’s just enough and fabulous.

What a gem in Waco. I used to travel very far to nearby cities for fine dining experience but didn't realize Waco has a gem too. The steak was very well cooked, lobster bisque soup and bread was one of the best I had, even better than what we had in most of the restaurants in Paris and Lyon. Dessert was also tasty and not overly sweet. We'll definitely revisit.

Came here for dinner and had an amazing experience. Came late and was still able to get a perfectly medium rare prime rib. Lobster bisque had chunks of lobster and excellent quality. The lobster escargot was amazing, and the thick cut bacon was great. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. Really was the best meal I can remember having in a long time.

My wife and I went there for our 20 year anniversary and they had a rose on and a hand written note on an Anniversary card on our table. Sara our waitress was the best. The food was superb and cooked with perfection. My first Tomahawk steak and it won't be my last. Thank you for making our anniversary special without our knowing. Thank you again Sara

My husband and I celebrated our 10 years together here and the food was amazing! Our waitress Trinity was super sweet and attentive. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful, relaxed meal. Drinks were perfect, filets were perfection - cooked exactly as ordered & very tender, lobster tails was good - not the best ever, but I’m glad I ordered it, salads were delicious, and the Tower of Chocolate was unbelievable! Our server, Courtney, couldn’t have done a better job!
